The way we consume the news is constantly changing. We have TV, Twitter, and maybe you've seen a newspaper this decade.

Certain words are/aren't being used to describe malicious behavior, important events aren't getting enough coverage, and recently, the news reporters have become the news.

For some insight into the reporter experience, I talked to Sheila Powell* about life in the newsroom, pitching stories, chasing non-stories, working with others, why reporters can't just call people on their BS, and who ultimately what decides what stories are told. Sheila also offers some really great advice on breaking into journalism that is applicable to anyone.

*Sheila Powell is an alias. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. Throughout the episode, details about Sheila's life are obscured to protect her identity.
